Model Tests on Discontinuities in Subsurface Barrier Installed by the Vibrating Beam Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the present note, the susceptibility to necking of a subsurface barrier installed by the vibrating beam method in fine-grained soils is investigated by physical model tests. Two soils are investigated, a clayey soil and ...
Dynamic Patterning of Shear Bands in Cosserat Continuum
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical simulation of patterns of shear bands in plane-strain compression tests using an elastoplastic Cosserat constitutive equation with consideration of inertia is presented. Random distribution of the material ...
Optimal Control of Total Chlorine and Free Ammonia Levels in a Water Transmission Pipeline Using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a model predictive control (MPC) system is developed for the goldfield and agricultural water system (GAWS) east of Perth in Western Australia. As part of the study, four months’ water quality and hydraulic ...
